WENDY HAMMONDLakefront Winter
The bergs stand,
isolated statues,
ballplayers on the diamond
among waves foaming
at the mouth.
The bird lady comes
wearing blue ear-muffs
carrying a bag of stale bread.
Flocks of gulls
swoop in around her
like she's their long lost mother,
a recruiter or the water boy.
Her over-sized purple gloves
homerun the crumbs into the crisp wind,
and thousands of stiff wings
look like Yankee stadium
with everyone clapping.
The tracks will blow over
and the sand will wear
a clean white jersey
as winter holds onto this season
with a record breaking average. copyright WENDY HAMMOND
